From the makers of Saints Row over at Volition comes this week’s Backlog Slog, Agents of Mayhem. Originally released in 2017, it’s certainly one of the more recent games I’ve played, but the question becomes, was it worth putting it off for so long? Agents of Mayhem is a part of th...

Previously, We Happy Few was a game that we thought would never see release on our shores. It was refused classification by the the Classification Board on the ruling that the drug use contained was beneficial and created an advantage for the player. Never mind all the bashing in of heads and whatno...

I debated on whether or not this should be my next Backlog Slog. I feel like everyone and their Grandma’s nextdoor neighbors cat who can’t see too good knows about Fortnite at this point. We even talked about it here a little before release. But Battle Royale isn’t the whole game, ...

So, Dontnod is wading back into the waters of Life is Strange once more. After previously handing off the prequel game, Before the Storm, to another studio, they’ve taken the reigns back and are warming up for season 2 of Life is Strange. Before they get to that, however, they’ve first g...

After my time with Pillars of Eternity 2 and my somewhat negative feelings on it, I decided to give Obsidian Entertainment another chance. Where Pillars was too dense and not particularly newbie friendly, I instead put my sights on Tyranny, originally released in late 2016. Tyranny comes with an int...

Previously, Bethesda and Warner Brothers have been pretty friendly over the topic of Westworld, comparing a few scenes from the show to moments in their recent release at the time, Fallout 4. It was all above board, everyone was having a good time, I like to imagine their Twitter accounts laughing t...

Hacknet was a game I first encountered at PAX Aus 2015. But, alas, it was from a distance. Each year it popped up at the convention, I would pass it, never getting the chance to play it because there was always a huge crowd waiting for their turn. I did, however, manage to get myself […] The p...

Some of you may know that Quantic Dream’s latest big title, Detroit: Become Human came out recently. It was huge. They advertised it with creepy androids in Sydney and they were also at PAX Australia. They waved at me and I hated it. Spooky. Anyway, before this, way back in 1999, David Cage an...

Ah, Steam. The biggest gaming platform in the world and, unfortunately, one without a similar comparison. Sure, there are other platforms like Origin and Uplay, but these only cater to their respective developers. Smaller platforms like GOG exist for DRM free options, and itch.io for indie developer...

The backlog slog is always ongoing. It’s a slow process, but I won’t lie, it’s a fun one. Today’s entry comes from the depths of my embarrassingly large Steam library. A game that was purchased at some point, perhaps in a bundle, perhaps individually due to a really good sale...

So. Videogames went absolutely nuts over the last couple of days. Which is understandable considering E3 is very quickly closing in and leaks are springing all over the place, whether it’s thanks to Walmart or cheeky individuals leaking very real news on April 1st, of all things. So. I could w...

We all have backlogs, I’m sure. Those games that just gradually pile up that we keep saying, ‘oh! I’ll play this eventually!’ and then we don’t. Then we instead buy even more new games and it creates a never-ending cycle of regret, money spent and great games we’v...

Australian travel company Legit Nerds has teamed up with streamer darling Bajo to launch a special PAX Aus 2018 travel package. And it looks absolutely amazing. For the bargain price of $1760, Legit Nerds is offering an all inclusive package to Melbourne to attend the event. What do you get for this...

First of all, some full disclosure. I don’t play a lot of isometric RPG’s, it’s not a genre I’m intimately familiar with and this colours my view of new games I play in the genre. The last of which was Divinity: Original Sin 2, which is still one of the best games I’ve ...

E3 is right around the corner. It’s drawing ever closer, set to take place between the Saturday the 9th through to the Wednesday the 13th of June. That’s next month, if you’re not keeping track. Developers everywhere have been teasing their new games, leaks have been springing from...

Frostpunk is technically a city builder, in that you need to sort out the housing, food and power needs of your handful of survivors. Yet it's the survival side of the game that provides the real challenge.

The original God of War series was, as you may remember, a violent trip through Greek myth featuring weird sex minigames, edgy one liners and fast paced action, as well as pioneering the quick time event. In the end, it left us with a Kratos who was still a ball of rage, but a completely […] T...

Australia, since 2014, has had a bit of a rocky relationship with gaming giant Valve. It all began when the Australia Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) discovered that Steam was in breach of Australian law by not offering refunds. Under Australian law, refunds must be offered if a product i...

Finally, we're able to get the 2016 DOOM soundtrack on vinyl. Laced Records has confirmed that Mick Gordon's ridiculously impressive work will be available a little later this year, with a special limited edition four-disc set pressed on blood red 180 gram wax.
